Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal. It is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Activated carbon is made up of carbonaceous source materials, such as coconuts, nutshells, coal, peat, and wood. Activated carbon has no shelf life. Always keep its pore structure and, because, its adsorption characteristics until the activated carbon are put in contact with compounds that can be adsorbed. Activated carbon is used to purify liquids and gases in a variety of applications, including municipal drinking water, food and beverage processing, odor removal, and industrial pollution control. Activated carbon is used in various industries such as automotive, water treatment, food & beverages, pharmaceutical, metal & mining, heavy industries, oil & gas, construction, and others.

Global activated, they are utilized in different end-use ventures, for example automotive, food & beverages, pharmaceutical, metal & mining, heavy industries, oil & gas, water treatment, construction, and others. Despite the fact that the worldwide market for activated carbon is evolving quickly, the end-use divisions that are predominant are not changing a ton.
In the automotive industry, activated carbon is used to control emissions, remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and improve the quality of cabin air. It can also be used to create electrodes for supercapacitors. Also, activated carbon is used to purify liquids and gases in a variety of applications, including municipal drinking water, food and beverage processing, odor removal, and industrial pollution control. In the gas industry activated carbon is used for air purification applications, mercury removal, hydrogen sulfide removal, and chlorine removal.
Furthermore, activated carbon for the mining industry is commonly utilized in the absorption of golden cyanide complexes in gold processing and it adsorbs dissolved gold from gold leach pulp complicated to be absorbed through the pores of this carbon. For alcoholic beverage processors, activated carbon is used to remove flavors and colors as well as other by-products of fermentation. Juices and other fruit-based beverages often contain natural but undesirable compounds that can affect color, flavor, and odor. In addition, it is a waste material used for construction purposes.
Because of the multiple uses and advanced features demand for activated carbon in various end-use industries is increasing day by day, and this creates a huge opportunity for the global activated carbon market.

Market share of any company means, total purchases of a customer of a product or service, what percentage goes to a company. Market share is a proportion of the purchasers' inclination for a product over other comparative products. A higher market share usually means greater sales, a lesser effort to sell more, and a strong barrier to entry for other competitors. A higher market share of the overall industry likewise implies that if the market grows, the pioneer acquires more than the others.
Calgon Carbon Corporation is a U.S.A-based company that manufactures and export products that remove contaminants and odors from liquids and gases, for industrial, municipal, and consumer markets. While the company product lines utilize activated carbon in various forms, UV light technology, or ion exchange technology. Moreover, the company also offers reactivation services, wherein activated carbon can be recycled. Additionally, the company also provides purification solutions for drinking water, wastewater, pollution abatement, and a variety of industrial and commercial manufacturing processes. Despite this, the company is a manufacturer of granular activated carbon and has more than 100 types of activated carbon products – in granular, powdered, pelletized, and cloth forms for various applications.

Powdered Activated Carbon is made from organic materials with high carbon contents such as wood, lignite, and coal. It typically has a diameter of less than 0.1 mm and an apparent density ranging between 23 and 46 lb/ft3, depending on the material used and the manufacturing process. Iodine and molasses numbers are typically used to characterize powdered activated carbon. These numbers describe the quantity of small and large pore volumes in a sample of powdered activated carbon.
Granular activated carbon is defined as the activated carbon being retained on a 50-mesh sieve. Calgon Carbon produces granular activated carbon with a variety of materials, methods and degrees of activation to produce activated carbons designed to meet and exceed the demands of a wide array of applications.

Activated carbon is commonly used to adsorb natural organic compounds, taste and odor compounds, and synthetic organic chemicals in drinking water treatment. Adsorption is both the physical and chemical process of accumulating a substance at the interface between liquid and solids phases. Activated carbon is an effective adsorbent because it is a highly porous material and provides a large surface area to which contaminants may adsorb. The two main types of activated carbon used in water treatment applications are granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC).
Automotive emissions are a major contributor to urban air pollution. Although exhaust emissions are effectively controlled using exhaust gas catalysts, activated carbon is the most common technology worldwide for evaporative fuel emissions. Activated carbon-filled canisters are used to adsorb high levels of volatile hydrocarbons in gasoline tank emissions to prevent them from moving into the ambient air. The adsorbed fuel vapors are then desorbed when the car is driven, regenerating the canister. This adsorption/desorption cycle continues allowing activated carbon to perform for the life of the vehicle.
